Abstract

The book re-examines evidence for Greek dialogue between the mid-fourth century bce and the mid-first century ce-that is, roughly from Plato's death to the death of Philo of Alexandria. Although the genre of dialogue in antiquity has attracted a growing interest in the past two decades, the time covered in the book has remained overlooked and unresearched, with scholars believing that for much of this period the dialogue went through a period of decline and was revived only in Roman times. The book carefully reassesses post-Platonic and Hellenistic evidence and studies the employment of the dialogue in the Academy and by authors of the pseudo-Platonica, by Aristotle and his followers, as well as in other intellectual environments, from the Minor Socratic schools of the Megarians and Cyrenaics, to the major Hellenistic traditions-the Cynics, Stoics, and Epicureans-and from Timon of Phlius and Eratosthenes of Cyrene to Philo of Alexandria and Tablet of Cebes. It also collects and examines papyri fragments of dialogues, which have never been discussed in this context. The book argues that dialogues and texts creatively interacting with dialogic conventions were composed throughout Hellenistic times, and proposes to reconceptualize the imperial period dialogue as evidence not of a resurgence, but of continuity in this literary tradition; it therefore challenges the narrative of the dialogue's decline and subsequent revival, postulating, instead, the genre's unbroken continuity from the Classical period to the Roman Empire.

Abstract

Tandis que le christianisme s'étend et que les cultes se développent dans le Bassin méditerranéen, le philosophe fait part de son scepticisme face à la superstition. Il s'amuse des légendes et des rituels et parodie la religion, dépeignant des dieux colériques et jaloux. ©Electre 2017

Abstract

"This volume aims to explore the diversity of forms and practices of the ancient dialogue as a genre. As a literary work in its own right, a prose drama, the dialogue was first invented in the Socratic circles of 4th century Athens. The practice was not really theorized before the Hellenistic rhetoricians, but the genre displays a consistent diachrony despite some moments of eclipses. We study here its main transformations in ancient times: the Platonic founding model, its redefinition in specifically Roman terms by Cicero, the "other" model of the Renaissance, and later by Tacitus, and the new syntheses arising out of the effervescence of the imperial period (Athenaeus, Lucian). But the dialogue is also a discursive modality or a specific textual sequence, which this book seeks to explore in its several forms or set figures: narrative strategy for Herodotus' reported speeches; fictions of conversations interrupting the speech in Demosthenes; dialogue with the classics in Plato, Plutarch, and Clement of Alexandria"--

Abstract

Within Lucian's works, Timon is referable to the writer's maturity and it is considered to be one of the best and most typical dialogues written by the author from Samosata. This study traces the story of the fascinating and enigmatical character of the Athenian Timon, a archetype of a misanthrop, in his literary development up to his crucial meeting with Lucian of Samosata. The work offers, for the first time, an analytical commentary on Lucian's Timon. The reader will find in the book an introduction, which is divided in four different sections: the first contains some general notes on the Second Sophistic and Lucian; the second restores the literary development of the misanthrope Timon from his origins in the Attic comedy to the II century a.D.; the third part offers an analysis of the relationship between Lucian's Timon and the literary tradition, and, afterwards, an investigation into the dialogue's fortune from the II century to the XX century; the last section gives short but exhaustive details about the literary style and the language used in the work. To facilitate the consultation, the analytical commentary is again divided into sections - each one with a short individual introduction - and follows the Greek text and the translation.

Abstract

The issue of Plutarch''s Platonism is a crucial topic for both specialists in Plutarch and for those interested in Plato.While previous publications on this issue focus on the faithfulness of Plutarch to Platonic philosophy and how Platonic theses are presented in the Middle Platonism, this volume attempts, through a multifaceted approach, to focus on how and why Plutarch uses the words of Plato in the Moralia.
